Brush Cutter 8000

Before starting the engine, read the op-
erating instructions and note:

Warning  

This symbol marks all paragraphs which
affect your safety. Pass all safety instruc-
tions to other users and operators.

Due Use

The brush cutter is constructed solely for
the cutting of grass and similar plants as
well as thin non-wooded scrub in land &
forest management, green spaces, and
other such areas. However it is not
intended for lawn areas in parks! (due
use).

Any other type of operation is consid-
ered undue. The manufacturer is not li-
able for any damages resulting from
undue use, for which the risk lies with
the user alone.

Due use includes compliance with
manufacturer’s instructions on opera-
tion, maintenance and repair.

Any unauthorized changes to the brush
cutter render manufacturer liability null
and void.

General Instructions on
Safety and Accident
Prevention

Basic Rule:

The standard accident prevention regu-
lations must be adhered to, as well as
all other generally accepted rules gov-
erning operational safety, occupational
health and road traffic regulations.

For drives on public roads, the national
traffic code applies.

Accordingly, check the brush cutter for
road and operational safety each time
you take up operation.

Only persons familiar with the brush
cutter and instructed on the hazards of
operation are allowed to use, maintain
and repair the brush cutter.

Teenagers of 16 years or younger may
not operate the brush cutter!

Only work in good light and visibility.

Operator’s clothes should fit tight. Avoid
wearing loose fitting clothes. Wear solid
shoes.

Note the warning and instruction signs
on the brush cutter for safe operation.
Compliance is for your own safety.

When transporting the brush cutter on
vehicles or trailers outside the area to
be mowed, ensure that the engine is
turned off.

Careful with rotating tools – keep at a
safe distance!
